Does the White House need adult supervision?

Are Dems scared of their immigration stance?

Nevada's obtuse Angle?

Do shirtless photos of White House staffers reflect poorly on the Obama administration? Plus, why are Democrats talking like Republicans over immigration? And can Nevada Republican Senate nominee Sharron Angle win by simply not being Harry Reid?

We need adult supervision in the Gulf of Mexico. What White House staffers do on their time off is irrelevant. Yes, young staffers need to know they represent more than a campaign when they’re tipping a few back in Georgetown, but this is really the least of the president’s problems. Why won’t the president speak directly to the CEO of BP? Why is he refusing the help of other nations in the clean-up efforts? Why is the administration stopping state and local governments from taking clean-up efforts into their own hands, when there is no other alternative? Has the White House considered the negative economic consequences of their drilling moratorium as residents of the Gulf states beg to get back to work?

There are so many unanswered questions that are starting to become symbolic of an out-of-touch, out-of-control administration. Adult supervision is needed…in the Oval Office.
